Vijayawada: YSRCP leaders and cadres took to the streets across the state on Wednesday to participate in the 'betrayal day' protest, called by party supremo YS
Jagan Mohan Reddy
. The protests, which included rallies and dharnas, were held in all district headquarters, municipal towns, and mandal centers.
Party leaders alleged that the Chandrababu Naidu-led NDA govt failed to implement its poll promises and had betrayed the people's verdict.
YSRCP state coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said that the massive turnout for the protest programme clearly indicated the govt's failure. He claimed that people had voluntarily attended the dharnas despite police restrictions and had voiced their dissent. He pointed out that people had realized the difference between Naidu and Jagan Mohan Reddy, who had fulfilled 99% of his promises within a year.
He criticized the NDA government for stopping existing schemes and not rolling out promised ones, neglecting health, medical, and agriculture sectors, and pushing the poor into more debt.
He also slammed the govt for downsizing the number of beneficiaries while boasting about increasing pension amounts. He highlighted the poor quality of governance, citing the example of physically challenged and aged people standing in queue lines to get ration after the door delivery system was scrapped.

He further alleged that the NDA govt had secured debts of over Rs 1.51 lakh crore in just 11 months, which was much higher than the debt incurred during Jagan's regime.
Surprisingly, the NDA govt did not implement even a single welfare scheme, he said.
The YSRCP leader criticized the police for trying to restrict the protests and telling people how to conduct them. However, he said that people had vented their ire and participated in huge numbers despite these efforts. Sajjala emphasized that YSRCP, as a responsible opposition party, would always be with the people and would fight for justice until the ruling party fulfilled its promises. Former ministers, legislators, MPs, and district party presidents participated in the protest programme in their respective districts.

Unlike most others, his ₹9,000+ crore dues are now reportedly settled. Meanwhile, bigger defaulters walk free with much fatter haircuts from banks. If dues remain, the banks should clearly say so. If not, why is he still a political punching bag? Justice must be fair, not selective.'' Thank you Harsh.

I got demoted: Omar Abdullah shares stage with PM, pushes for J&K statehood

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, while sharing a stage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, made a fresh push to restore the statehood of J&K. Abdullah pointed out that while Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha was promoted from Minister of State to his current post, the National Conference leader was effectively demoted from being a Chief Minister of a state to that of a Union are four persons on this stage who were present at the inauguration of the Katra railway station (in 2014). You had just won the election, becoming the Prime Minister for the first time. MoS in PMO Jeetendra Singh was present then and our LG Manoj Sinha sahib was discharging duties as MoS Railways and I was here as chief minister."If you see, by the blessings of Mata (Vaishno Devi) Sinha has got a promotion and I had a demotion. I was chief minister of a state and now I am a CM of the UT. However, I believe that it will not take long to rectify it .... Jammu and Kashmir will again get the statehood under your watch only," Abdullah said. The Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister made these remarks while addressing an event in Katra alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who launched mega infrastructure projects worth Rs 46,000 crore. Prior to the event, PM Modi inaugurated the historic Chenab Bridge, the Anji Bridge, and the Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL), and also flagged off the maiden Vande Bharat Express to said many people have dreamt of seeing a train chugging into Kashmir. "Even the British had dreamt of connecting Kashmir by train but they did not succeed. Their plan was to bring rail from Uri, along the banks of Jhelum, to connect with the country. What the British could not achieve has happened at your (Modi's) hands and Kashmir has been connected to the rest of the country," he National Conference leader also paid rich tributes to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee for declaring the train to Kashmir a project of national importance."It will be a grave mistake if I do not thank former PM Vajpayee. This project was undoubtedly started in 1983-84.... but it was completed only after Vajpayee declared it a project of national importance and made provisions in the budget," he added.

Iranians react to new Trump travel ban as tensions are high between nations

People walk past a state-sponsored anti-US mural painted on the wall of the former US Embassy in Tehran (Image credit: AP) Iranians again face a US travel ban imposed by President Donald Trump , with the decision drawing anger, frustration and some shrugs given the decades of tensions between the countries. Trump imposed a similar ban during his first term before withdrawing America unilaterally from Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, under which Iran drastically limited its program in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. But when he returned to the White House and began seeking a new deal with Iran, it saw the country's rial currency improve and stocks rise, but worries have grown as its government appears poised to reject an initial American proposal. The travel ban has further darkened that mood and led Iranians to fear Trump will lump the nations' 80 million people alongside of its theocratic government even after he's repeatedly praised them while seeking a deal. "Now I understand that Trump is against all Iranians, and his attitude is not limited to the government," said Asghar Nejati, a 31-year-old man working in a Tehran pharmacy. Even in the years after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and subsequent US Embassy hostage crisis, Iranian students traveled to the US to attend universities. Between 2018 to 2024, an average of around 10,000 Iranian students went to the US annually. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Estimates suggest some 1 million Iranian-origin people live in the US today. Mehrnoush Alipour, a 37-year-old graphic designer, said the nations could have better relations if they could spoke to each other in softer tones. "This is another foolish decision. Trump cannot reach his goals by imposing pressures on ordinary Iranians," she said. "The two nations can have better relation through openings, not restrictions." Bank teller Mahdieh Naderi said Trump was lashing out over his frustrationed efforts to reach ceasefires in the Israel-Hamas war and the Russia-Ukraine war. "Trump just expressed his anger about his failed plans," Naderi said. "He is complaining about the Chinese and others who are living in the US, too." Some said interest in the US was already waning before the latest ban. "Over the past years, two of my grandchildren went to Canada to continue their education there," said Mohammad Ali Niaraki, 75. "Iranians are not limited in immigration and they are not as interested to go to the US as they were decades ago. Iranians prefer Canada, as well as neighbouring countries with flourishing economies like the (United Arab) Emirates." But others pointed out that high-ranking government officials have children living or working in the US, despite the tensions. "It's fine, but if he also kicks out the children of officials who live there it would be very nice," said a man who just gave his name as Mehdi. "We can't afford traveling to the US, almost 80 per cent of us can't. But if he kicks out those who are already there it would be much better." Tehran resident Mehri Soltani offered rare support for Trump's decision. "Those who have family members in the US, it's their right to go, but a bunch of bad people and terrorists and murderers want to go there as well," he said. "So his policy is correct. He's doing the right thing."
